For me, the idea behind listening to the radio is to find music I've never heard before, so all those classic rock biggest hits of all time stations don't cut it, unless I'm in a car with no CD or tape player.
a. Aural Moon
Prog station. Sometimes a little scary -- progressive rock is comparable to science fiction -- but great if I'm in the right state of mind. Beautiful name, too, although the site itself isn't that pretty.

b. BAGel Radio
Such an awesome website. It makes me so happy every time I decide to check it out. Like c, this is more of an indie station -- less-known music from the current era. Very interesting links.

c. CBC Radio 3
Canada's own web station for newish artists, so it has that extra bonus of being close to home. Because, you know, all my favourite bands are canadian. Seriously, though, this is pretty sweet -- it has a stream I believe, but you can browse through all the artists and hear anything you like, then add those to your personal playlist.

d. Technicolor Web of Sound
This is pretty well my dream website. It's entirely devoted to psychedelic rock, so most of what they play is from obscure bands with names like The Magic Mushrooms, Acid Talk, and Strawberry Alarm Clock -- bands that perished with the arrival of the seventies.

You'll find a couple of songs I like playing there...I'm sure none of them are in the least bit your type, but the again - none of yours were really my type either.
